malignant narcissism
Otto Kernberg described malignant narcissism as a syndrome characterized by a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), antisocial features, paranoid traits, and ego-syntonic aggression. Some also may find an absence of conscience, a psychological need for power, and a sense of importance (grandiosity). Pollock wrote: "The malignant narcissist is presented as pathologically grandiose, lacking in conscience and behavioral regulation with characteristic demonstrations of joyful cruelty and sadism."[1] Malignant narcissism is considered part of the spectrum of pathological narcissism, which ranges from the Cleckley's antisocial character (today's psychopath) at the high end of severity, to malignant narcissism, to NPD at the low end.
Kernberg wrote that malignant narcissism can be differentiated from psychopathy because of the malignant narcissists' capacity to internalize "both aggressive and idealized superego precursors, leading to the idealization of the aggressive, sadistic features of the pathological grandiose self of these patients."[2] According to Kernberg, the psychopaths' paranoid stance against external influences makes them unwilling to internalize even the values of the "aggressor", while malignant narcissists "have the capacity to admire powerful people, and can depend on sadistic and powerful but reliable parental images." Malignant narcissists, in contrast to psychopaths, are also said to be capable of developing "some identification with other powerful idealized figures as part of a cohesive 'gang' ... which permits at least some loyalty and good object relations to be internalized."
Malignant narcissism is highlighted as a key area when it comes to the study of mass, sexual, and serial murder.[3][4]

I actually know one person who has Malignant Narcissitic traits; yet, they having this, are clueless they do.
In Short, A narcisisst beleaves, truly beleaves, they are the very center of the Universe; they think they are "above others"; are more intelligent, can't imagine why others are "not like them" and will do just about anything to continue to project this self image; they will constantly try to get the attention of those who can help them promote themselves and have little or no ability to take responsibility for their negative actions; they deny it if anyone tells them they have issues and can respond with Great-Hostility towards anyone threatning them by exposing them and thier sharade; they are generally, intelligent and use most of thier intellect to self promote; that's why they miss what's going on regarding thier impact on others, they are blind to this as they "look inward" at thier own needs; if they appear rude they probably are not aware of it as they are busy mentally pushing someone aside to self gain; if caught doing something absolutely wrong, they have the ability to not only deny it to you, but to themselves as they "self deny" , again, promote that image they seek, a perfect person above the rest.
